WINCHESTER MODEL 71 DELUXE 348 W.C.F

A classic example of Winchester’s last great heavy-frame lever action, this Winchester Model 71 Deluxe in .348 W.C.F., manufactured in 1950, combines serious big-game capability with the refined appointments that define the Deluxe grade.

The rifle is fitted with a 24" barrel with factory sights and features the desirable capped pistol-grip stock, along with sling swivel studs and a Pachmayr recoil pad, making it both practical and comfortable to shoot. Chambered in .348 Winchester, a cartridge developed specifically for the Model 71, it delivers exceptional power and penetration for elk, moose, and bear, and remains one of the most respected lever-gun cartridges ever produced.

Condition is very good to excellent, showing light handling to the stock and metal consistent with careful use and storage rather than hard field wear. The rifle weighs 8 lbs even and measures 13⅜" LOP, offering the solid, authoritative feel for which the Model 71 is known.

A desirable Model 71 Deluxe—powerful, well balanced, and increasingly sought after—representing the pinnacle of Winchester’s classic big-bore lever-action era.
